The following are a few critical areas where we have consistently helped our public and private sector clients to cut and control costs:

• Adjusted shift designs and position classifications to more efficiently align to the operational needs of the scheduling unit.
• Balanced planned off-duty limits (vacation, annual training, administrative leave, military duty, etc.) to available relief positions.
• Balanced staff regular off-duty days through the week to avoid off duty spikes.
• Scheduled annual training windows that do not conflict with prime vacation time so that training can be accomplished without overtime.
• Flex 'd non-priority positions to move available personnel to vacant mandatory positions to avoid overtime.
• Moved relief positions to separate scheduling units and then deployed them to shifts based on vacancies and planned leave variances between shifts.
• Identified strategies to maximize employee average annual deployable days and tracking systems for detecting leave abuse.
